Very helpful, got me what I needed

Greg helped me with a worker's comp case I had over 2 years ago. He was very insightful about the process and very easy to talk to. I ended up settling at my deposition, which saved me an unbelievable amount of time. He also got me a very generous compensation which I was very satisfied with. I w...ould highly recommend him, I felt very comfortable and left knowing I was compensated fairly for my injury.

CLIENT

I was introduced to Mr. Shentwu through a family friend. At the office on the initial meeting, my situation was explained thoroughly. The steps of the process, the legal aspects and my rights were also explained in detail. I am glad that I have Mr. Shentwu as my attorney. Personally speaking, his p...rofessionalism has given me peace of mind and a total trust.

Great guy and great lawyer!

In August of 2015, I got injured at my hospital trying to restrain a 5150 hold in the ER. I was referred to Greg's office by a coworker, who hired them prior. When i arrived, Greg greeted me, and told me he was partner at the firm. Being my first time with worker's comp, I really didn't know what... I was getting into. Greg was very patient and understanding. He explained everything to me numerous times, and answered any question I had. He explained the process of worker's comp, how they award judgements, and also the different routes I could take. Turns out he has worked for the opposite side of worker's comp. In the end i hired him on the spot. With everything from getting MRI's scheduled, to finding the doctor's office, to little questions here and there, Greg helped out in every way. There was also a time where he referred me to another lawyer to be sure I wasn't wrongfully terminated. My case ends in January, and I have no doubt in my mind that he and his office has done everything they can for me. It was painful enough to get injured and not be able to work. If I had to go through this with anyone else, I probably would have ended up with depression. I STRONGLY recommend Greg Shentwu.

A Satisfied Client.

I've never had to do anything like this before, but I knew that my injures were serious and could not be ignored. Mr Shentwu was very professional and explained the process in great detail. He made this whole experience comfortable. I am happy with my settlement and the entire process was not as b...ad as I thought it would be. Greg and his team were very helpful and I would certainly recommend him to others. If you're looking for an excellent attorney that will fight for you tooth or nail Greg and team are the ones you want. Thank you Greg for all of your hard work. It did not go unnoticed. Continued Blessings...
